PEXALON 106 SC – Corteva Agriscience

Revolutionary Hopper Control Powered by Pyraxalt™ Active

PEXALON 106 SC is a next-generation insecticide from Corteva Agriscience containing Triflumezopyrim (Pyraxalt Active). It is specifically designed for the effective management of Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White-Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), and Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) in rice. With its novel mode of action (IRAC Group 4E), PEXALON delivers rapid feeding cessation, outstanding knockdown, and long-lasting residual control, helping protect rice crops from hopper burn and virus transmission.

Active Ingredient

• Triflumezopyrim (Pyraxalt Active) 106 SC
• IRAC Group: 4E (Mesoionic Insecticide)

Key Benefits

• Fast-acting control that stops hopper feeding almost immediately.
• Provides up to 21 days of residual protection.
• Controls hopper populations across multiple life stages.
• Effective against resistant hopper populations.
• Reduces hopper burn and virus transmission.
• Protects productive tillers and improves grain filling.
• Favorable environmental profile and compatibility with IPM programs.
• One strategic application can provide extended field protection.

Mode of Action
PEXALON contains Triflumezopyrim, a novel mesoionic insecticide that acts as an allosteric nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (aAChR) desensitizer. It disrupts feeding behavior immediately after exposure, causing rapid feeding cessation, paralysis, and eventual death of target pests.

Target Pests

• Brown Plant Hopper (BPH)
• White-Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH)
• Green Leaf Hopper (GLH)
• Other hopper species affecting rice crops.

Recommended Crop

• Rice (Paddy)

Application

• Apply at the early stage of hopper infestation.
• Best performance is achieved between tillering and panicle initiation stages.
• Recommended as part of a resistance management program with rotation to different modes of action.
• Follow local label recommendations for dosage and timing.

Key Results
✔ Rapid hopper knockdown
✔ Up to 21 days protection
✔ Reduced hopper burn
✔ Healthier tillers and stems
✔ Better grain filling and yield
